Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)

Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room.
Mike Congrats on being able to compare two beautiful systems and deciding what is best for you. I have heard your system is something to hear and behold. I am not at your level but that does not matter. We all enjoy our music to the best of our c... 
Horn speakers are really bright?

@4krowme - What horn speakers are you looking at?

Systems over $100k
I have a nice system and I am still going to upgrade.  Going to add the new Lampizaotr Horizon DAC over my current Lampi Pacific.  Also working on Room Acoustics between Viscoustic Acoustics and GIK.

@jerryg123 -- I believe the juice maker was made by your EE D-i-L.  
Great results with NPS 1260?!
